You are not the only one. I am having this problem, but most of my
focus has been on de-bugging new installs and upgrades from 7.04. I
cannot successfully boot *any* clients, from P4 to P1, from 512mb to
32mb of ram, from an EdubuntuAmd64 ltsp server with an i386 chroot. I
can sucessfully boot any of these clients from and Edubuntui386 ltsp server.
I have followed all directions I can find. My only observations is this
If you complete delete your amd64 instance from /opt/ltsp and
/var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/ and then build your i386 instance, your clients
only boot to a Busybox shell.
If you leave the amd64 instance and *then* build the i386 instance, your
clients will fail at the binfmt-**** error. I have tried adding the
binfmt-*** to my module blacklist, *both* for the client and for the
server, but to no avail.
I am just making my setups dual-boot until I can debug why this will not
work.
